Graphical symbols for use on detailed maps, plans and geological cross-sections - Part 6: Representation of contact rocks and rocks which have undergone metasomatic, pneumatolytic or hydrothermal transformation or transformation by weathering
This standard provides a series of graphical symbols to represent on a map, plan or geological cross-section, rocks which have originated as the result of constant metamorphism, of metasomatic, pneumatolytic, of hydrothermal transformation of transformation by weathering.

About This Item
TS ISO 710-6 is a graphical-symbol standard for detailed geological maps, plans and cross-sections, focused on how contact rocks and rocks altered by metasomatic, pneumatolytic, hydrothermal or weathering-related processes are represented. Its purpose is to give a consistent visual language for rocks whose significance lies not only in their lithology, but also in the alteration history they record.
Why alteration type matters in geological notation
In mapping practice, symbols do more than name a rock unit: they condense information about origin, overprinting and later modification. Metasomatism refers to compositional change driven by chemical exchange with fluids. Pneumatolytic and hydrothermal alteration describe changes associated with gases and hot fluids circulating through rock. Weathering-related transformation reflects near-surface breakdown and alteration. The standard’s subject is the graphical expression of these different alteration settings on geological maps and sections.
Contact rocks in map and section interpretation
Contact rocks are commonly developed around intrusive bodies or other thermal contacts, so they are often interpreted together with the surrounding country rocks and alteration halos. Standardized symbols make those relationships easier to read at a glance and help different teams describe the same feature with a shared technical shorthand. TS ISO 710-6 is therefore about the symbol system for this specific class of rocks, not a full classification of geological materials.
